So these people tried to rip me off. So I have a condition called keratoconus. Its an eye condition…read moreand required an operation to halt the disease. Which require hard contacts called scleral lenses. My original contacts broke, so I needed new ones since I can't see without them. I contacted my insurance to see who was in network. They gave me a list and this place was on it. So I go and they seem very nice then they tell me the contacts will cost 2k and then every year I'll need a new pair at 1k for new ones. I was shocked and they said my insurance won't cover it. So it's either pay or be legally blind. So I pay them and I later contacted my insurance to see what they cover. Turns out they cover it all 100%. I contact them thinking it must have been an error and they can put the order in and also get my money back. The receptionist then tell me it's not covered. I tell her that she's mistaken that my insurance said it was then she says "well it's cosmetic" I tell her that's not true I had an operation for it and everything so it can't possibly be cosmetic. She got nervous because I called her bluff and tells me the office manger will call me in two days. Three days later I call back and the receptionist tells me that it's office policy to NOT charge insurance for those lenses. I was shocked. They are in network, they take my insurance l, and they will charge my insurance for standard contacts or glasses fine but for the expensive stuff they won't. So they get to pick and chose what to charge insurance. Which makes it seem like they will chose to charge insurance Baer on profit. I told her that is unacceptable and will file a complaint with my insurance (which I did) suddenly the office manager magically appears in the office. She tells me I have two options I can either cancel the order OR they can charge my insurance and if they cover 100% then I get my full 2k back and if it's 50% I get the difference you know like HOW INSURANCE WORKS. I tell her I want them to put in the order. She then says it could take up to 8 weeks for me to get reimbursed after the contacts. We then have the following conversation Me: so 8 weeks? Her: yes Me: okay put the order in, I'll mark in my calendar that in 8 weeks I should have the 2k back or else we'll have to have a conversation Her You dont have to threaten me Me: I'm sorry what did you say Her:you don't have to threaten me, I know what I'm doing Me: well you've lied to me twice so far so I don't trust you Her: I got this Me:okay put the order in Her:it could take 2 weeks for the contacts Me: ok 5 days later I get a call from my insurance asking me if I got back my 2k because they said that I cancelled my order and requested a refund. I never did that. I filed another complaint for insurance fraud. I call to speak to the office manager and she's not in and it's unknown when she will be in. Then i get a call from their Manhattan office who tell my insurance covers the contacts and asked me when I would like to come in. So even with that they still don't know what they are doing. So please PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. They will lie and try to rip you off. Call your insurance and educate yourself. Spread the word because we need to stop this fraud

That evening Dr.Elias phoned to see how I was feeling and again answered more questions. My cataract surgery was very successful. I now have perfect 20/20 vision in my right eye. I'm excited to schedule cataract surgery for my left eye. Thank you very much Dr. Elias for your superb precision in my cataract surgery.

No more ceaseless hunting for my reading glasses. The operation was totally painless. As a matter of fact, the day after Dr. Zellner performed surgery on one of my eyes, I had tickets for a Broadway show --- and was able to attend and my vision seemed perfect. Didn't miss a thing!! A visit to Dr. Zellner's office is always a pleasure for more than one reason: His staff is friendly and efficient, the office is modern and creatively decorated (with zig zag windows, a big beautiful eye and the surprising bathroom must be visited). To top it all off, Doctor Zellner is not only an excellent, efficient, experienced knowledgeable ophthalmologist/surgeon, he's also got a great sense of humor! After your appointments, you leave in a good mood, with a smile on your face. We all need a bit more of kindness and humor these days. Treat yourself to a visit with Dr. Zellner, for your eyes for sure, but also for your general mood.

But it turned out to be some other doctor named Jyostna Jain who checked my eyes. Becky at the reception desk scheduled my tests as soon as I walked in they got the tests done for glasses and lenses. 1. I got to know later that my vision insurance was not covered at that place and they didn't even feel an obligation to let me know before proceeding with the tests. 2. A few weeks into using the prescribed lenses I noticed that something was off and got my eyes checked again and was told the right eyes power was tested incorrectly and there's a lot of difference from previous prescription. So over all I ended up paying $200+ for eye tests and prescription that was not even correct.

Once you're done with your appointment, Costco sells frames literally right outside the office door so you can literally step outside, hand them your prescription, and then have your frames ordered. It usually takes a couple weeks, but then you can just go and pick them up at costco. The reception staff is incredibly friendly as well, and I will continue to be coming to this office every year.
